He helped the Impact reach the finals where Montreal would face the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, this marking the first time in USL history where the final match would consist of two Canadian clubs. In the final DeRoux helped the Impact win the series 6–3 on aggregate. The victory gave the Impact their third USL Championship and also the victory marked his first USL Championship. On 6 October 2009 DeRoux received the Newcomer of the Year Award during the team’s 2009 awards banquet.
